A cool little article about a completely bonkers endurance record held by the Subaru Legacy.

Excerpt:
Thirty-five years ago, supported by a small army of Subaru employees, three Japanese-spec Legacys went the distance, setting an FIA record for speed and endurance that still boggles the mind.
More than 18 days at full throttle, hour after hour at 145 mph, through early frost and desert rainstorms. Turbochargers glowing cherry red in the dark and flat-four engines sputtering an offbeat roar that would become the calling card of rally-bred performance.
Over 62,137 miles (100,000 kilometers), all three Legacys endured, the fastest of them managing an average speed of 138 mph. In the record category for engines between 1.5 and 2.0 liters, it's never been beaten.
